Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 142

February 15, 2017, 01:34:48 AM 



Hi everyone else. You've survived Valentine's Day. And now we are half way through the month (well, actually MORE than halfway)---already!  Here are 10 more new additions. Most of these are holdovers from one of Rich's recent auctions (hence the MPB watermark on the photos). Come along for the ride and take a look or don't:


THE MAD EXECUTIONERS:

I've never seen this flick, but there wasn't much competition for it (maybe/probably it's a crappy movie?)  I went for it. Is the movie any good?





THE LIVING END:

"An irresponsible movie by Gregg Araki."  I've not seen this, but this director seems to be kind of a cult favorite. I DID see one of his films, THE DOOM GENERATION, and liked it a lot. Got this one cheap...why not? Turned out to be from my friend Scott's collection before I knew he was dead.




CRY OF THE BANSHEE:

Hooray! Another classic Vincent Price chiller poster. Not as nice as HAUNTED PALACE or HOUSE OF USHER, but...




AXE:

Here is another one I scored from our pal Rich during one of his auctions a few weeks back (Thanks Rich!). Also known as CALIFORNIA AXE MASSACRE (riffing another, more popular movie), this is strictly drive-in, B-movie  fodder. Couldn't pass it up.





LATITUDE ZERO:

I got a Thai version of this a while back. I've still never seen the movie. i do dig the power rays or whatever coming from their fingertips. Zowie! What's that all about? Could be a cheesy groovy movie. Cool poster.




AT THE EARTH'S CORE:

I actually saw this in the theaters as a kid back in the day, and even then it was ultra cheesy...but you couldn't look away. My eyes were glued to the screen. The poster art has always enchanted me too. I already have a copy, but why not another for a rainy day?





RAZORBACK:

I've been curious about this movie for years. I have the DVD---just have never seen it yet. The poster always seems to get snatched out from under me too. Why? I got me a copy---hope to see the film some day. Is it a GIANT pig in it or something? Yowza! This first appeared on my radar because it stars Gregory Harrison, star of TV's LOGAN'S RUN (which, if you'll remember was based off of the film of the same name -- which was the first poster I ever got!)




SECONDS:

I've long been curious about this Rock Hudson flick. I've never seen it, but doesn't aging Rock get somehow turned into a younger guy?  Hmm.





THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD and SPIDERMAN STRIKES BACK (British quad combo):

This was interesting (and inexpensive). I'm not sure what THIEF OF BAGHDAD is...never saw it...but the SPIDERMAN 2nd feature appears to be culled from the short-lived 70s TV series. That should/could be worth something to some fanbot somewhere maybe? I remeber the series--it was flawed and cheesy and no where near as fluid and "believable" as the newer movies are (I only saw the first newer movie--not a big fan of the super hero stuff).




HORROR HOTEL:

Here is my prize for this post. Oooooo how exciting. I've wanted a copy for a long, LONG time. Love the art...creepy fabulous.



That's it for now. Thanks for stopping over. March will be here before you know it...



CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023: #10

Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year. Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time… GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS:  Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible m

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #9

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.  But, it happened. Let's take a look: PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS: What the hell is this
